Like they need own goals to be on the wrong end of a hiding. ?
-
Obnoxious is putting it mildly. ?
-
Yeah, idk why I put myself through the stress of watching the game live on TV. But as you said, totally different experience being at the game. Thank god we don’t carry on at the game the way we do when watching at home. ? -

I thought his first name is Connor(?) -
Didn’t think it possible to hate him more than I already do.
-
I going to sleep now coz boring footy match. I highly recommend it. ?
-
I can’t remember his name. He’s been doing these presentations and tributes and stuff for years. It’s really not necessary. Fans will watch the match if they’re interested. They don’t need to be enticed with a deep and meaningful back story. It’s soooo Chanel seven.
-
It was paid for high contact!!!! Ridiculous.
-
It’s annoyed me for years. Ok for a finals match, or if someone has died, but a match like this one? Pfft.
-
That pre-match voiceover guy does every single one of those ‘tributes’ as if it’s about Ted Whitten or Lou Richards or similar. It kinda loses it’s potency when it’s done ad nauseam.

I AM LITERALLY CRYING RN ? The “Jobeisms” are hilarious as it is. But the comments are gold. And some of the funniest are from Essendon supporters! They’re next level funny. Thank you for posting this, Dr. G! As you said, essential reading.

You’ve nailed it. Dennis never made it about himself. Nor did he milk it when it started to become apparent that his commentary was a cut above the rest. Dennis never overdid Dennis. And yes, the poor man’s commentators of today are always talking as though something they’ve said might go down in the annals of footy commentary (think “Jesaulenko, you beauty!” and “Leo Barry, you star”).
-
Tim Lane is definitely a great commentator. And not just of footy; his cricket commentary is also awesome.

“yeah, so you agree, rozzee is sh*t, has the contested ball awareness of a minature poodle.” I will never be able to look at Connor Rozee without thinking of this. ? AND they misspelled his name. Their own player! -
He retired, didn’t he? Still does the Olympics, doesn’t he? We all miss him, don’t we? It would take three lifetimes to answer all his questions, wouldn’t it?
-
There’s no number 5 in 29. ? Just getting that out of the way coz chances are someone will want you hanged, drawn and quartered for that mistake. Soz, just noticed it’s already been pointed out.

“BOY OH BOY OH BOY!!!!” ”GEE WHIZ! GOLLY GOSH!”

We all remember Bruce McAvaney, don’t we? Annoying af, wasn’t he? Ended every sentence with a question, didn’t he? Made you wanna throw something at your TV, didn’t it?

And he’s borderline obsessed with the umpires. He knows more about them than he does the actual players.
-
As an actor he makes a great footballer.

If that really was me, wet bread is the least of my problems. ?

That’s me 100%! I have actually been banished to my bedroom to watch our matches. The fam don’t get into footy at all so they don’t understand. All good, I sorta don’t blame them. I have trouble keeping my inner foul-mouthed, belligerent bogan alter-ego on a leash when we’re playing. PS: the tv in the bedroom was a small, old, crappy one. They wondered why I didn’t protest to be sent in there to watch matches on it. Then Mr StarTrack turned up with my brand new 55 inch TV and the mystery was solved. ?
